The
strike that began with 36 Union of Education of Norway teachers at one
school in Bergen on the 1st of July is about to explode in size as 5,500
additional teachers from 130 secondary schools join the labour action
Monday, August 11, according to ei-ie.org.
“This strike is about much more than the
7.5 hours,” said the President of UEN Ragnhild Lied, referring to one
controversial proposal that orders teachers to spend 7.5 hours of
working time at school each day, which the union argues does not reflect
the realities and demands of the profession.
“We are on strike for the opportunity to
do a good job, for more time to follow up each and every student and
for time to prepare teaching and learning in the best possible way.”
In June, 73 per cent of teachers voted
against a proposed collective agreement, which they say threatens their
professional autonomy and hinders their ability to deliver a quality
education.
